I've been following James Bennett's "Practical Django Projects"
alongside of Brett Haydon's very helpful post
http://blog.haydon.id.au/2008/08/notes-on-practical-django-projects.html
and came across an issue when wanting to change the format of the URLs
in my blog application.
For any blog entry, the URL will look something like "/blog/2009/feb/
10/some-post/". My goal is to change it to "/blog/2009/02/10/some-
post/". Change the month abbreviation to its respective number.
To do this, in my blog's models.py, I changed the get_absolute_url
function to this:
def get_absolute_url(self):
return ('coltrane_entry_detail', (), { 'year':
self.pub_date.strftime
("%Y"),
'month': self.pub_date.strftime("%m"),
'day': self.pub_date.strftime("%d"),
'slug': self.slug })
In the entries urls, I changed the regex to look for digits instead of
word characters:
urlpatterns = patterns ('django.views.generic.date_based',
(r'^$', 'archive_index', entry_info_dict,
'coltrane_entry_archive_index'),
(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/$',
'archive_year', entry_info_dict, 'coltrane_entry_archive_year'),
(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/$',
'archive_month', entry_info_dict, 'coltrane_entry_archive_month'),
(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<day>\d{2})/$',
'archive_day', entry_info_dict, 'coltrane_entry_archive_day'),
(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<day>\d{2})/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/
$',
'object_detail', entry_info_dict, 'coltrane_entry_detail'),
)
I thought this would have taken care of the URLs, but I'm getting a
404 page with no helpful error message (debug=True) when I try to
access any of my entries or index lists. "/blog/2009/02/..." doesn't
work.
Usually it would say there are no flatpages for the query, now it's
just blank for that line.
What am I missing? I feel like it's one of those "urdoinitwrong"
times...
Thanks for your help!
